Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the interview.
"Why are you following?"
Wen Yan'an met Wen Zhiyan's gaze and said earnestly, "I'm Mom's agent, and I'm going to work with Mom."
During this time, he had learned a lot about acting from his mother. Especially when he saw his mother cry, his heart ached, and he felt very distressed.
But Mom said that the previous performance was not right. She always felt like she was missing something, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
During that period, Mom was completely immersed in the script, except for eating and exercising. Seeing this made him both distressed and anxious, and he didn't know how to comfort her.
"Just you?"
"Mom said I'm great." Wen Yan'an looked at Fang Miaomiao.
Fang Miaomiao immediately chimed in, "Yes, our An'an is amazing."
"Mom is the most amazing."
Wen Zhiyan: "..."
So, he was the least amazing.
"Dad, you should hurry to work." Wen Yan'an waved at Wen Zhiyan, "We'll come find you after we finish our business, okay?"
Wen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, "Wen Yan'an, are you slapping me and then giving me a date?"
Wen Yan'an smiled without speaking.
"Alright, you two go quickly. I have to go to work too."
"Bye-bye."
Thanks to the sponsorship from Wen Group, Chen Tianming generously arranged the interview venue in the top-floor conference room of the October Hotel.
As soon as the news was released in the morning, the area outside the October Hotel was already crowded with paparazzi and fans.
"Qingqing, we love you, Qingqing, go for it, we'll protect you."
"Holy crap, what did I just see? Isn't that the popular young star Qingqing? She's here for the audition too? This is a jackpot, breaking news!"
"Fei Qingqing is so beautiful, I wonder what she's auditioning for."
"Look at her determined look, combined with her current momentum, who else could she be other than the lead actress."
"Bro, as a paparazzi, you have no sense of professionalism. Didn't you see Chen Tianming's Weibo? He's casting two female leads for this script, two female leads, I'm really impressed."
"Heavens, Cui Mantong, it's Cui Mantong, Cui Mantong is here too?"
"Isn't that Zhou Jiaxin? No, how can Senior Zhou Jiaxin be here too?"
"It's normal, who do you think Chen Tianming is? If you can get on Chen Tianming's good side, you're halfway into the film industry, alright."
Zhou Jiaxin and Cui Mantong smiled and waved at the fans.
"Senior Zhou, long time no see."
"Mantong, long time no see."
The two walked into the hotel arm in arm.
Fang Miaomiao saw the news about the crowd at the entrance of the October Hotel and decisively asked the driver to drive directly to the underground parking lot and take the elevator to the top-floor conference room.
When the people auditioning saw Fang Miaomiao, their expressions changed.
"Why is she here? And dressed so casually. Is the Wen family going bankrupt? That's why she's dressed so shabbily?"
"Who knows? Why bother with her? You're not unaware of her acting skills. It's useless for her to be here. You should focus on your script."
"She's really putting on a show, bringing Wen Yan'an to an interview. Can she even live without Wen Yan'an's popularity?"
Wen Yan'an frowned, stood in front of the young girl who was speaking, tilted his head up, and said very seriously, "Auntie, defamation is illegal. Also, I'm the one sticking to Mom, not Mom sticking to me. I don't hope you understand, but please don't gossip behind people's backs."
"Who are you calling auntie?"
"Aren't you? Auntie, you may not have noticed, but the powder on your face can barely hide the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes. Is this because you're always gossiping about others, and that's how you became like this?"
"You!" The girl's face changed, and she stepped forward to push Wen Yan'an, but a slender hand suddenly appeared and gripped her wrist tightly.
"Who is it?" The girl looked at the person clearly, her face turning pale and then red. She still forced herself to say, "Fang Miaomiao, can you control your stepson? He's so ill-mannered."
"Isn't the one with bad manners you?" Fang Miaomiao said calmly, "What? You can't argue with a child, so you want to resort to physical violence?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Which eye of yours saw me make a move?" The girl raised her voice to hide her guilt, "Besides, isn't he fine?"
"Oh, I see."
Fang Miaomiao nodded thoughtfully and released the girl's wrist.
The girl rejoiced, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Fang Miaomiao slap her.
"Ah."
The girl screamed, instinctively took a few steps back, lost her balance, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Fang Miaomiao, you've gone too far."
"Have I?" Fang Miaomiao tilted her head slightly and blinked innocently, "I didn't hit you, did I? There are cameras, so you can't falsely accuse me, can you? Who told you to be so timid?"
As the words fell, the surrounding people instinctively took a few steps back, away from Fang Miaomiao's line of sight. Some of the people who came with the girl for the audition didn't even dare to look at the two of them.
"Fang Miaomiao, do you know who I am to dare offend me?"
"Does it matter?" Fang Miaomiao impatiently interrupted the girl, "You reap what you sow. I, Fang Miaomiao, am not someone who will suffer in silence. Since you dare to bully my people, you must bear the consequences."
"Without the Wen family, you are nothing."
"Mmm-hmm." Fang Miaomiao nodded obediently, "I'm just relying on the Wen family behind me, I'm just a fox borrowing the tiger's might. It's no different from you. Do you have the ability? Go find someone if you have the ability."
Her smug expression angered the girl so much that she didn't know what to say. She could only get up from the ground, uttered a fierce "You wait" and turned to leave.
"Mom, you were so cool just now." Wen Yan'an threw himself into Fang Miaomiao's arms and said enviously.
"I think so too." Fang Miaomiao picked up Wen Yan'an, looked around, and seeing that no one was speaking, entered the conference room with Wen Yan'an.
Chen Tianming looked up at her, "Why are you so late?"
"Just resolving something outside."
"So that's why it was so noisy outside."
"First of all, I didn't start it."
"Uncle Tianming."
Hearing the crisp child's voice, Chen Tianming's expression changed dramatically as he looked at Wen Yan'an, "An'an, what's wrong?"
"An auntie outside was badmouthing Mom, and I argued with her. When she couldn't win the argument, she tried to push me, and Mom stopped her."
"Push you?" Chen Tianming's face changed, but he still said kindly to Wen Yan'an, "Then we can't keep people like that. Is An'an hurt?"
"No, Mom protected me very well."
